Subject to the foregoing, where two or more bids at the same level are simultaneously received by the Auctioneer, any bid by a Bidder personally present at an Auction shall take preference over any bid submitted by telephone or over the internet.

Fellows shall have the right, at its absolute discretion, to refuse admission to its premises or attendance at (or participation in) any Auction by any person.
Bidders may be required to register their particulars. Bidders attending in person may be required to satisfy Fellows' security arrangements before entering any part of the premises to view or bid.
7.2 You accept full liability for all bids submitted via your My Fellows account.
Once a bid has been made by a Bidder on our website, the bid can be lowered or increased up until 9am on the day of the auction. You must sign into your My Fellows account to do this and you will receive an email confirmation for any changes made.
Should a bid be placed in error on the website you must contact Fellows immediately. Failure to contact Fellows before the auction takes place will result in liability for the full payment of the item.
7.3 Subject to clause 6.3, the highest Bidder at the Hammer Price shall be the Buyer. Any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion.
7.4 Bidders are deemed to act as principals unless there is a written prior acknowledgement by Fellows that a Bidder is acting as an agent for a named principal.
7.5 Bidders are strongly encouraged to attend the Auction in person. Bidders shall be responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be deemed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition. Neither Fellows nor its employees or agents shall be responsible for any neglect or default in doing or failing to do so.
7.6 Bidders are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and prospective Buyers must satisfy themselves as to all such matters. Neither Fellows nor its employees and agents nor the Vendor accept liability for the correctness of such opinions, and all conditions and warranties, express, implied or statutory are hereby excluded.

(b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by Fellows to the defaulting Buyer;
(c) to re-sell the Lot by Auction or private treaty.
